s228T | inhibition of the bifunctional farnesyl/geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase by MMV019313, but not bisphosphonates, is disrupted in an S228T variant | Plasmodium falciparum |
Inhibitors | Comment | Organism | Structure |
---|---|---|---|
MMV019313 | the inhibitor is highly selective for Plasmodium falciparum FPPS/GGPPS and shows no activity against human farnesyl diphosphate synthase or geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase. Inhibition of the bifunctional farnesyl/geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase by MMV019313, but not bisphosphonates, is disrupted in an S228T variant, demonstrating that MMV019313 and bisphosphonates have distinct modes-of-inhibition. Inhibition occurs via a new small molecule binding site | Plasmodium falciparum |
